"To expand the network with a strong presence, Haneda = Miyako route trial operation" Skymark President and CEO's New Year's greeting (original text)

2022.01.05

Happy New Year. At the beginning of the year, I would like to extend my best wishes for the New Year. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the warm support and encouragement from everyone involved as the epidemic of the new coronavirus infection continues. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the many passengers who boarded the plane while cooperating with measures to prevent the spread of infection, including wearing masks on board.

Last year, we achieved the first place in the on-time performance rate for the fourth consecutive year, and it was a year in which we felt a solid sense of improvement in flight quality.
In addition, in support of the "Sora Tobu Pikachu Project" that wants many people in The Pokémon Company to look up at the sky and smile as much as possible, we have started operating the "Pikachu Jet BC". We are preparing various surprises in the future, so we hope you will enjoy it.

This year marks a milestone year for Skymark. It has been 23 years since the first flight was launched in September 1998, and many passengers have used the service, and if all goes well, the total number of passengers is expected to reach 100 million by the fall of this year. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all stakeholders and passengers who boarded the flight.

In order to be able to use the service to even more customers, we will strive to expand our network as an airline that connects customers widely and closely with each other. In particular, from March this year, as part of the Haneda Departure and Arrival Slot Policy Contest, we will enter a one-year trial operation period on the Haneda = Miyako (Shimoji Island) route. We would like to contribute to the promotion and development of the Miyakojima Islands with three routes including Kobe and Naha.

In 2022, in addition to maintaining a high on-time performance rate with "safety and security" as our top priority, we will continue to work together to provide "simple, warm, and sincere service" that is close to each and every customer.
I would like to conclude my New Year's greetings by asking for your continued patronage this year and wishing you all a fruitful year.

New Year's Day 2022
